There are plenty of pedestrian photographers with very expensive cameras who are doing no favors to their camera brand. They buy a D800 or Leica M9 or Canon 5D III because it's the most expensive camera they they can handle and they think it'll will improve their photography. It won't. They make a good camera look bad.

That doesn't mean the camera isn't better. Those cameras have a few tricks up their sleeve that others don't.
